[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1120787, member: 9096"] I have never shown, but I agree that just leaving him tied up isn't really going to make him workable. He's gotta learn to lead (er, follow!), and get used to all sorts of sights and sounds too. On my replacement heifers I start them on a halter at about a month old, and try to always lead them to a place they want to go.. IE, into a place where there's greener grass or they can play, and then when they get tired of that, they'll wany mommy again, so I lead them back. Most of them now I can easily lead with just a piece of bale twine. I got mine used to clippers too (I have big noisy ones), and they've got it figured out that it feels good and they don't spook around it. Also, get him used to moving his feet where you want them, and without kicking Good luck with him :) [/QUOTE]
